I was cleaning out my email last week and found this blog post that I started sometime in February of 2015.
Two super exciting things coming soon!
On behalf of the Mundane Faithfulness Team, I am super duper excited to make two announcements about upcoming events that will give us an opportunity to interact a little bit more with each other and celebrate as a community.
Kara’s Collection: A week of only snapshots
From an article originally posted October 5, 2013…
Last week was an odd blur of anxiety, surgery, medication, and sorrow. It was the perfect combination to send a person into a stupor of a different dimension. I don’t know what to call the world I lived in last week, but I know people who have traveled a similar path will understand.
An Open Letter to the Lonely
We talk a lot about community here, about just showing up for people around us who are hurting, about what it means to trust God in the midst of suffering, looking for grace in the mundane. I love our Mundane Faithfulness team, our readers and friends, our financial supporters (without whom we wouldn’t exist!), the Facebook MFC. Some days I am downright overwhelmed with the love and encouragement around me.
But I know that there are a lot of us—and by a lot, I truly mean a lot—who are not overwhelmed by love and encouragement. Who, in fact, cannot imagine what that would even look like. Who see Kara’s pictures of her beautiful family, her Mickey, her friends, her church, and wonder what it would mean to have so many people to love.
Kara’s Collection: The Dream
From an article originally posted October 3, 2013…
Over a week ago Jason told me about a dream I had in the middle of the night. He said I sat up in bed and had my hands raised and I was yelling, The walls are falling in, the walls are falling in! He said he held me and said, I’ve got the walls, babe, I’ve got them. I keep coming back to that dream. I think it’s the best picture of how I feel today.
